Alan S. Pralgever, a partner in the firm’s Litigation Department, will be a presenter at the live webinar “Negotiating Indemnification, Reps, and Warranties in New Jersey” on Tuesday, June 8, 2021 from 9:00am – 4:30pm. The program will be presented by the National Business Institute (NBI).

When strategically negotiating critical provisions, veteran contract attorneys know that boilerplate solutions are not a potential option given the amount of risk, liability and potential for error.  This presentation will dig deep into the ins and outs of these issues and provide real-world drafting examples and checklists.

• The entanglement of indemnification, hold harmless and limitation of liability.
• Detrimental mistakes attorneys commonly make in contract negotiations.
